Health claim

“Zinc 30 mg daily improves muscle recovery after resistance training.”

Claim checked — mixed / earlyHigh risksupplements

Evidence Summary

Some evidence supports this, but findings are inconsistent or limited in scope.

Research on zinc supplementation and muscle recovery is limited and shows inconsistent results; while zinc is essential for protein synthesis, typical dietary intake suffices and high-dose (30 mg) supplementation has not been consistently proven to enhance recovery.
